The tweet lay dormant for several years until 19 July 2016, when Trump Jr. spoke in support of his father, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. As the younger Trump received praise and some accusations of plagiarism for his speech, someone found and began circulating the old tweet, which quickly picked up steam on social media.

Whether Trump Jr. was describing an actual event or was attempting to make a joke is not known. The tweet itself, however, is real.
